12.7/10 unreal experience. Emotional rollercoaster from start to finish. Related with all of the characters on a personal level. My one trivial concern, is the age appropriateness of the film. As it was rated universal, but I found it sexually disturbing and had strong undercurrents of favouring drug use.In my honest opinion, it perfectly encapsulates the pure joy of table football. Papa bless

I really found it disappointing, full of identical clichés to dozens of Hollywood films for children. There are very few things that identify the film with Argentina, the bar is where the foosball is, the Buenos Aires voices they almost seem overdone, the rest is extracted from any animated movie viewed before. The conflict of the weak child receiving bullying by the group of "bad guys" is of the most hackneyed in Hollywood. His relationship with his girlfriend, how the bad guy becomes a villain, how everything is defined and solved in a football game. All this leaves the impression that he defined the script took all the stereotypes of Pixar and Dreamworks movies and threw it on the table and used quite bad indeed.The fact that the original story is Roberto Fontanarrosa and adaptation of Eduardo Sacheri is an unusual fact, considering the talents of both. If Fontanarrosa was alive, he would be seriously disappointed.Both mistake then, is only attributable to Campanella not know what to do with the story and transformed it into a trite, predictable script without lights.

A 3D animated sport-movie from Argentina. I do not hail from a football crazy country like South America or Europe, though I love the game. This movie was about foosball, a table football and its game characters.This story follows when a professional footballer Grosso challenged his old enemy Amadeo to play football on a real turf after he was narrowly lost in a foosball game to him a long ago. Amadeo had no choice but to accept the challenge when his town is under a threat and to save his girlfriend. He's clueless about the preparation and game plan, but under some circumstances foosball characters come to life which offers support to build a team. And what comes next is the most excited game in the last quarter of the movie.It was a terrific idea like 'Night at the Museum' and many other movies, but lost to a bad story and execution. Technically it had the upper hand than the entertainment side. I love the animation, especially the foosball characters, very nicely created. A movie that had all the qualities to be a fine short animation than a full length feature. Unfortunately, it was based on a short animation and failed to stretch its runtime with some good scenes.It was obvious that the many parts of the movie were dull due to poor transition between the scenes. I think the screenwriter was clueless about what to add and not. A great achievement, according to the Argentinian animation industry. But the storyline and characters were more local cultural tradition than universal appeal which might influence audience from the other parts to draw out of the interest except children and foosball fans. The movie was not fun at all, it was pretty serious which should have not been. In my guess I believe adding more jokes should have saved the movie. At least the movie can be watched once with a lower expectation than that from Hollywood.6.5/10

I loved this movie and it was not because I am Argentinian, but because it was beautiful, funny, wonderful directed and each character has a unique personality.Perhaps there are many users that write bad reviews because they are uncomfortable with the way it was made. Try to forget that is an Argentinan movie, that it only costs 20 million dollars, that it was directed by an Oscar winner or that the main plot is about football. Just go to the movie theater and make your own opinion, you will be surprised.Important: If you see the movie with the original voices, it could be shocking at first because of our accent and the way we express ourselves. But I am confident when the movie is released in your country and in your language, you are going to give the rightful opinion that this movie deserves.
